Synopsis

FROM THE AUTHOR OF SEE HOW THEY RUN AND ALL FALL DOWN


On a cold January morning, a nightmare awaits in a sleepy Sussex village. A deranged young man goes on the rampage, shooting everyone in his path before taking his own life. It’s a senseless, tragic event.

Only Julia Trent – believed to be the sole survivor – knows that there was a second man involved. But after being shot and badly injured, her account of the massacre is ignored.

Together with Craig Walker, the son of one of the victims, Julia sets out to find the truth before she’s silenced for good. As they peel back the layers of a dark and dangerous conspiracy, they discover the slaughter didn't begin on that bitter day in January.

And worst of all, it won't end there.

"This first time thriller cuts the mustard ... Very readable" (Daily Mail)

"A spellbinding thriller ... Quite simply the best book I've read this year" (Latest Magazine)

"Be prepared to sit up all night reading this one" (Book Club Forum)

"Here is a treat for crime fans. Brighton novelist Tom Bale has produced a gripping contemporary thriller despite setting it largely in a sleepy Sussex village. Pacy and well written ... the deft local references simply add to the horror of the tale" (Argus)

Book Description:

Brilliant first thriller in the vein of Peter James, in which a killer goes on the rampage in a quiet Sussex village, leaving only one witness - a woman fighting for her life.
